I was just reading up on the Flamers wiki-page when I noticed a minor contradiction.
...sets off the gas-air mixture by way of four parallel spark igniter...
AND
...when injected into the air, creates a slow thermobaric reaction...
That cant be right. Does the flamer ignite the fuel manually as it mixes with air? Or does air trigger the reaction, thus makeing the spark igniter's useless?
Discuss.
